Armed robbery at Tilburg mental health center

Three robbers forced their way into a mental health institution on Mendelsshonstraat, Tilburg on Tuesday morning, threatened two employees with a taser and took off with a small amount of money. According to the police, the robbery happened around 4:00 a.m. The robbers had their faces covered. One of them threatened the employees with what the police believe was a taser and demanded the key to the safe. One employee surrendered the key and the robbers fled with a still unknown amount of money. It is not clear how they managed to get into the clinic.
